Arthur Edward Waite

Lucasta Arthur Edward Waite

Lucasta is a long, multi-part poetic work by Arthur Edward Waite, known primarily for his work on the Rider-Waite tarot deck and his Book of Ceremonial Magick. A verbose and prolific author, Waite compiled several volumes of poetry, notably a work of English poems related to fairies and other supernatural topics- this present work is more personal and was titled after his first wife. The content here has been preserved near-verbatim except for a few typographical errors being corrected. The poetry is considerably overlapped with occult topics and references, and the main poem is joined by several shorter works at the end of the book.
